Chapter 2829: Two-sided attack

"you--!"

Seeing several soldiers defending the city falling down with screams, and blood splattering and dyeing the sky red, Luo Qitong's eyes were bloodshot.

At this time, those monks, together with the common people standing beside them, suddenly tore off their robes and clothes. A closer look showed that they were all common people dressed in shorts, and they all wore a bunch of colorful ribbons.

It’s the Earthly Immortal Association!

One of them was tall and had just chopped off a soldier guarding the city with his broadsword. He shouted, "The Earth Immortal will handle the matter. Everyone else, get out of the way!"

When they made such a commotion, the people around were frightened out of their wits and crawled away from the city gate.

The remaining dozens of people all had colorful ribbons wrapped around their bodies. They were members of the Earth Immortal Society.

As soon as the crowd dispersed, they immediately brandished their swords and attacked the soldiers guarding the city, shouting, "Kill them and open the city gate!"

Luo Qitong roared, "Stop them!"

The remaining soldiers defending the city were fully awake at this time. Seeing their brothers being hacked to the ground, they immediately drew their swords, swung them and attacked, fighting with the believers of the Earth Immortal Society.

Luo Qitong looked down nervously. Although the soldiers defending the city reacted quickly, the number of followers of the Earth Immortal Society who were causing trouble was large.

Soon, the two sides were fighting each other.

Some members of the Earth Immortal Society began to rush towards the city gate, trying to open it.

At this time, the soldier on the other side shouted again: "General, look!"

“…!?”

Luo Qitong turned around hurriedly and saw a huge black shadow slowly emerging from the night in front of him. When he looked closely, he found that it was a huge catapult.

Just as he saw clearly, the huge stones on the catapult were suddenly thrown into the sky and flew towards their tall city wall.

Luo Qitong shouted, "Be careful and dodge!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud "boom" and a huge stone hit the side of the city wall hard, smashing a hole in the city wall and several battlements turned into rubble and flew everywhere.

The soldier standing there was unable to dodge and was directly hit to death by the huge stone.

Blood splattered on the faces of the people around.

Luo Qitong was also shaken by the tower and nearly fell, but he immediately steadied himself by holding onto the parapet and shouted to the panicked soldiers around him, "Calm down, everyone! Don't run around! Fight the enemy! Hurry and fight the enemy!"

Just when the huge rock broke the hearts of the soldiers on the city wall, the cavalry of the Dian State below took advantage of the gap when there were no arrows flying and ran quickly to the bottom of the city wall.

However, they only prepared catapults and did not bring anything to ram the city gates.

It seems that they are waiting for people in the city to open the door for them.

If the city gates were opened and both sides responded, the entire capital would fall!

Thinking of this, Luo Qitong calmed down and grabbed his archers and said, "Don't panic, keep shooting, don't let them get close to the city gate!"

As he spoke, the catapults in the distance had already thrown countless rocks into the sky.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and countless fist-sized stones flew down and hit them on the head, hitting the soldiers on the city wall and making their heads bleed. They could only dodge under the battlements and barely protect themselves.

Under the city wall, some innocent people who had gathered at the city gate were hit by the flying stones and screamed in pain, and scattered in all directions.

However, these stones, and the shock of the huge rocks attacking the city just now, made the soldiers defending the city below a little timid.

They didn't expect that the long night had passed, but the enemy suddenly launched an attack before dawn, and even the people in the city attacked them. Although the soldiers were still resisting this "attack from both inside and outside", they had already retreated in their hearts.

They were losing ground and were about to reach the city gate.

At this moment, there were sudden sounds of footsteps and shouts on the avenue in front of the city gate. It turned out to be more believers of the Earth Immortal Society. They had ribbons wrapped around their waists as tokens of loyalty, and they ran up shouting and waving their weapons.

The soldiers defending the city were already retreating step by step, and when they saw this scene, they fell into complete despair.

Just as Nan Yan and the others were retreating quickly, the Nangong Gate made a loud noise and fell to the ground.

Those drunken guards and eunuchs who were completely unable to react were directly crushed by the huge door panel. Countless people rushed in through the heavy palace gate and crushed them to death under the door panel.

Blood slowly flowed along the corner of the wall.

When the followers of the Earthly Immortal Society finally opened the gates of the imperial palace, they were filled with ecstasy.

In their eyes, the palace was like a palace in heaven. The gates of the palace were opened, and there were countless silver and treasures inside. These were all theirs!

They rushed in quickly, shouting, "Kill!"

Just as they ran through the long corridor, a team of guards who were patrolling the palace heard the noise and rushed over immediately. They were stunned to see a large group of ordinary people with ribbons wrapped around their bodies rushing into the palace.

This has never happened before.

Even when the Wu family rebelled, they used their own palace soldiers. They never thought that ordinary people would rush into the palace.

After a moment of surprise, the guards immediately reacted.

The leader immediately shouted, "Quick, stop them!"

So they rushed forward and fought with the followers of the Earth Immortal Society.

Nan Yan, along with Zhu Chengxuan, He Yi and other ministers, retreated from the South Palace Gate and immediately heard the sound of the palace gate collapsing behind them. She frowned and led everyone to hurry along.

Originally, everyone thought that she would return to the harem through Yuehua Gate, but unexpectedly, she went all the way forward.

After a while, we arrived at the main hall.

Everyone was stunned.

Gu Tingqiu also frowned: "My Lady, are we supposed to stay here?"

Nan Yan said: "Not bad."

After she finished speaking, she strode up the stairs. Although the people around her were still a little hesitant, at this time, they could only obey the arrangements of the imperial concubine and follow her up the stairs into the hall. Nan Yan immediately ordered that all the doors inside and outside be closed.

Yan Gu and the others were trembling with fear, their faces pale and their hair disheveled, as they walked in front of Nan Yan.

"Your Highness, we can't just sit here and wait for death."

Nan Yan glanced at them.

Then he said, "What are your opinions, my dear ministers?"

Yan Gu and the others said, "We should immediately send people to the Nine Gates to gather troops and horses to protect the emperor."

"Return troops from the Nine Gates?"

Nan Yan narrowed her eyes slightly.

He said coldly: "No."
